Britney Spears: The Circus Single Cover

The new cover for Britney Spears’ forthcoming and super-catchy single “Circus,” the second from her new album of the same name, has been released.

As usual, a mix of hard core photoshop work and lighting make the singer look even sexier and hotter than usual! Props to the art department at Jive!

Britney Spears' album is expected to hit #1, selling around 500,000 units in its first week. That would make Circus the recovering star's fifth #1 album.

It's been quite a year for Spears, who began 2008 being strapped to a gurney a couple of times, only to bounce back with another #1 album, a documentary, three prestigious MTV VMAs, and a newfound respect for pants.

I miss it here so much! I love it so much! It makes me it's kinda like bittersweet coming here because I used to live here for two years. And when I come here, it's like, man, I wish I had my apartment here still.
